Focal cortical dysplasia type II (FCDII) is a cerebral cortex malformation characterized by local structure disorganization, neuronal dysmorphology, and refractory epilepsy. Brain somatic mutations in several genes involved the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway are associated with FCDII, but they only found proportion of patients FCDII. The genetic causes underlying development FCDII other remain unclear. Here, we carried out whole exome sequencing targeted paired brain-blood DNA from identified brain...

Abstract Acquired resistance to BRAFV600E inhibitors (BRAFi) in melanoma remains a common clinical obstacle, as is the case for any targeted drug therapy that can be developed given plastic nature of cancers. Although there has been significant focus on cancer cell-intrinsic properties BRAFi resistance, impact host immunity not explored. Here we provide preclinical evidence an autochthonous mouse model associated with restoration myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) tumor...

Histone deacetylases are epigenetic regulators known to control gene transcription in various tissues. A member of this family, histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3), has been shown regulate metabolic genes. Cell culture studies with HDAC-specific inhibitors and siRNA suggest that HDAC3 plays a role pancreatic β-cell function, but recent genetic study mice contradictory. Here we address the functional β-cells adult mice. An specific knockout was generated MIP-CreERT transgenic using Cre-loxP system....
